Inclusion as a linked object
If you want to join the LOGOLIB™ Movement please place your artwork within a separate side of your website and send an e-mail to or-om@utanet.at, giving the adress of the side, a biography of your person or group and a description of your artwork concerning critical transformation or transgression of logo or design aesthetics, fitting to the submentioned principles. Please do not send us files of your artwork! If your submission is accepted, we will set a link to your artwork, and ask you for a thumbnail. Please note the Linked Object Agreement.
Principles
LOGOLIB™ is a global, evolutive all open and non for profit art movement reflecting the functionally alarming and dubious aesthetics of logo and graphic design and initiating their transgression, transfiguration and transformation within the Aesthetics of the Universal Structure of Formal Canons.
The exposed objects represent works of art, standing under the protection of the constitutional right of freedom of art without any commercial connotations.
The movement is strictly using
only peaceful, enlightening evolutionary soft means, rejecting all kinds of
subversive, destructive, aggressive, injuring, harming and violating attacks
aigainst established rights and structures. LOGOLIB™ never intends anarchic and
offending activities like "pull off a flurry of dètournements, boycotts
and pranks, jamming summits and meetings, launch suits against networks,
destabilizing social structures, storming networks with accumulated mindbombs,
take control of the streets, the billboards, the busstops and the whole urban
environment".
LOGOLIB™ is metaphorically in the first step rebinding the
functionally and economically deviated formal and substantial principles of
logos and graphic design to the Infinite Source of all finite formal and
substantial possibilities. In the second step after rebinding and
contextual reformulation the forms are reimplemented in the cultural and
social fields in a liberated and transfigured manner. The Universal Aesthetics
imply a new evolutive step in the development of mankind formulated as a
Catalogue of New Basic Rights of Humanism and Socialism (
http://or-om.org/Grundrechtskatalog.htm and
http://or-om.org/Weltsystem.htm
).
Relation
to other global movements
These universalistic basics of the unity of mankind are constitutive and regulative principles for all emerging movements opposing capitalism-centered and anti-corporate globalization like http://www.adbusters.org and others. But according to LOGOLIB™ the abovementioned universal structures may be realized exclusively by peaceful means, never violating existing rights and structures. Note the difference between:
a) acitivities, which are destructing, damaging and violating existing rights and structures, without elaborating precise and detailed plans and models for better social structures and economic relations and strategies for their evolutive transformation and
b) activities, which are not destructing, damaging and violating existing rights and structures, trnascending and transgressing the defective and deficient social formations of presence by exposing precise and detailed outlines and models for better social structures and economic relations and strategies for their evolutive transformation like
( http://or-om.org/Grundrechtskatalog.htm and http://or-om.org/Weltsystem.htm ).
